Hello,
I need help with finding a new birth control. I have been stuck in the UK because of Covid-19 and ran out of my normal pills. I spoke to a doctor and they ended up giving me Yasmin and told me not to have the 7 day break- which caused me to have intense bleeding and periods 6 weeks into taking it.
I need a medication closest to my old medicine where I do not need a break and don't bleed. My old medicine was 1mg norethindrone 20 mcg estradiol and I just went on to the new pack and took no placebo pill or had a 7 day break. Someone suggested norimin as it's 1 mg norgestimate and 35 mcg which would be the closest thing to my original pill but I need the medication to be ongoing and have no break where I will have breakthrough bleeding or unwanted periods.
The medicine I was taking wasn't just a progesterone pill- it was a combination and was taking it was 2 years with no problems. I was able to control when I bled, had no spotting and was doing really well on it but now I am experiencing pain ( cramps) from the out of no where periods and it's very uncomfortable.
Please suggest a medicine that has the closest medication as my original pill ( 1mg norethindrone 20 mcg estradiol) and doesn't cause any type of bleeding to happen and is continuous where I control when periods happen. I also need it to be the combination pill- as stated with what the ingredients were in my old pill.
Thanks
